[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DS asked me how he played yesterday, and I responded, "you weren't bad, but you weren't your usual self either.  Probably because you had trouble sleeping last night."  DH is now claiming that I gave a mean answer to DS, and am not being encouraging.  DS is 13 years old, and I feel like I gave a what I perceived as an accurate answer to a question that DS asked.  I would never have said anything either way unless DS asked.  Do people see anything wrong with my answer?[/quote]

I think your husband is a weeny. There is nothing mean about answering a question truthfully to a teenager who asked the question. [/quote]

Truthfully the answer was idiotic and provided no value.[/quote]

Not every answer that a parent gives their own child is going to be thought of as good buy another parent or someone outside of the situation. She answered how she deemed fit.  Hi think the issue for me is the fact that her husband said that her answer was mean. She gave her opinion and while it is clear she isn’t a soccer coach, she is a mom and gave her opinion which her child apparently values/asked for.

When my kids ask me something, I answer them truthfully. There is no point lying about it in my version of the truth might be different than someone else’s but I give them my honest opinion.[/quote]
